After browsing through some old photos (yes, I was Jeffrey Sebelia for Halloween a few years ago), I decided to do a little investigation and see what the designer is up to as of late…to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. It seems as if his original line, Cosa Nostra, which is reminiscent of the rocker designs seen on Project Runway, has digressed into the minimalist, lower price point, Good Vig. Although Good Vig was only for the 2008 holiday season, even his original aesthetic is taking a turn for the worse; Cosa Nostra seems to be failing, nearly every piece marked down. 

Just as Project Runway isn’t like it used to be, designers aren’t like they used to be either. Sebelia’s Cosa Nostra pieces are nice, but certainly not like his Project Runway work. I know times are tough, but whatever happened to picking yourself up by the bootstraps? Whatever happened to maintaining a unique style? Whatever happened to that winner’s attitude? Whatever happened to you, Jeffrey Sebelia?
